    I’m in the exact opposite position… hoarding bits on the cheap, all I need is ram and psu but ram now costs more than I paid for everything else put together and scavenging sources have dried up completely

      scavenging sources have dried up completely

      Last I looked — which was, admittedly, a few days ago — Google Shopping still has some retailers that have stock and haven’t yet jacked their price up. Mostly dinky little companies.

      searches

      https://hssl.us/silicon-power-64gb-ddr5-5600-mhz-udimm-desktop-memory-kit-2-x-32gb-5600-mhz-clock-speed-sp064gblvu560fd2ad/

      Never heard of these guys, can’t vouch for their reputability, but they have 2x32GB of DDR5 for $159.99 listed as being in stock.

      EDIT: I would advise, though, that if you plan to get memory in the near future, that you’re probably better-off getting it ASAP, since I’m sure that there are going to be scalpers combing over all those small retailers before too long if they haven’t gotten to someone yet.
